    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    I could see a second entrance being popular among Disney regulars and season pass holders, who might prefer the convenience of skipping the crowds. They could also re-locate the offsite resort busses and rideshare drop-offs there, since the drop off at the TTC is a pain. That said, to put a...

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    I agree. On the surface, it will look like Disney caved and DeSantis will take a victory lap. Behind the scenes, the CFTOD probably agreed to stay out of Disney's way and let business continue as it did under Reedy Creek. If Disney is dropping all lawsuits, they are doing so because the...

    News Destination D23 2023

    I'm fairly certain that Disney's marketing department has been very aggressive in trying to get sponsors over the years. They don't simply wait for companies to come to them. Regarding your second question, having a sponsor isn't a necessity for a ride overhaul, but it helps prioritize it. In...

    Summer House on the Lake coming to Disney Springs in 2023

    I know many here are lukewarm on this addition. I've eaten at the Chicago location and the food is quite good. Particularly the pizza, which is better than most of what they serve around Disney. I've always been a fan of Lettuce Entertain You restuarants, and there are a lot of them locally...

    Ditching Disney

    We're taking our first trip to the Netherlands next year and hope to visit Efteling. Looks like they have some pretty neat dark rides

    DL Dining Reservations

    Thanks, I appreciate the help. I'm in central time as well. I'm trying to get Blue Bayou for one of the days I am there. It looks like most other restaurants in the DL resort on my itinerary are fairly easy to book, but Blue Bayou goes quick.

    DL Dining Reservations

    Hi all - I'm taking my first DL trip in May. What time do dining reservations open for booking at the 60 day mark? I've been Googling and have seen everything from 6am Eastern time, 6am Pacific time, middle of the night, 50 days out, and so on. Just trying to figure out when to set my clock! ;)

    News Kona Cafe at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort closing for refurbishment this summer

    I like this new look a lot, especially the more tropical looking light fixtures and the new wooden entry way. Definitely fits the island aesthetic more than the older version. I'd say they nailed this one.

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    If she seemed happy and care-free 5-10 years ago and was a closeted lesbian at the time, the "happy" side you were seeing was likely a facade to fit in. I know from experience. After coming out, she likely started more feeling comfortable expressing the challenges and frustrations that she...

    Changes coming to Rose & Crown?

    This would make me sad. I've always enjoyed eating on the patio here. I also had a particularly memorable meal here on my honeymoon. We were seated on the patio to see Illuminations; the waitstaff made paper crowns for my husband and I and had us hold up glowing swords to kick off the...

    News New Play Pavilion to replace Epcot's Wonders of Life

    Don't know if this is still the case, but when I was in the parks in May, a lot of the interactive elements in queue lines were still not active

    News New Play Pavilion to replace Epcot's Wonders of Life

    Rumors are that the interactive nature of the attraction wasn't pandemic-friendly, so it has been on ice.

    Massive Jungle Cruise Wait Times

    That was another major component. Often someone requiring DAS would require several minutes to assist with unloading, and there seemed to be many that night. I would hear people in line complaining about the boats being stuck at the unloading dock for longer than usual periods (resulting in...

    Massive Jungle Cruise Wait Times

    When we went last month, Jungle Cruise had terrible waits. The official time said said 50 minutes, but we ended up waiting 1 hour and 45 mins. The culprit seemed to be Genie +, the line for Genie + was crazy long. As a result, many boats were dispatching with only Genie + guests. So standby...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    One challenge that remains with Paxlovid is that it needs to be given early in the course of the illness to be effective. For those who are proactive, particularly those cognizant of the fact they are at higher risk of severe disease and who are looking to take precautions, this will be a big...

    “Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.” Yeah, nothing to do with...

    Connections Cafe and Eatery

    To be fair, Future World has always been minimal in the theming department. Even in Epcot's glory days, you could argue that a lot of FW had "airport" like design elements to it. What has changed is the definition of modern - today modern is associated with the minimal, sleek, Apple look...

    Major Grand Floridian Refurbishment

    I had to look this up to see what they did. Someone on the Disney design team clearly has a thing for teal. That seems to be the main color component in most of their refurbs as of late. Everything is light blue, while they seem to be nixing all warmer, richer colors and wood tones. Probably an...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    If a particularly nasty variant emerges, I'm guessing much of the general public will be wearing masks again (With the exception of those who have a political aversion to wearing them). Guessing the public's response during a low covid phase does not indicate how they will react when things take...
